How often do you change bushings and Heims?

I’ve had my Solo Stage 4 kit for about 3 years (maybe 30k miles with about 20 off road trips) and am wondering what’s the general life or maintenance interval of pivot bushings, leaf pack and hanger bushings, and radius arm heims?

How about coilovers? Im noticing I’m starting to sage passenger side about 1.5” front and back compared to driver side.

when was the last time you check the pressure in your shocks?

Not since install. What should they be at?

If you havent checked anything this seems like a good time to do it. There are some tutorials on hiems regarding validating condition. Any vibration noises etc? I would check it all, validate torque on it all and go have fun.

Okay thanks. I have a significant vibration above 65 mph, and have ruled out tires and driveshaft.

Check to make sure your front hubs are properly unlocked. I've had experience with a simmilar problem a while ago and it turned out to be a stuck front hub. Spinning one front driveshaft can cause vibration at highway speeds.

Thanks I’ll check that out.
